Chapter 14 Mining, Dongtian Mine
Dang, Dang, Dang!
Anle Village, blacksmith shop.
Wang Mu was carefully observing the blacksmith uncle striking a piece of red iron.
After fishing for half a year, Grandpa Yu said that he had nothing to teach him about fishing.
And in terms of fishing level, there is no difference.
In this regard, Grandpa Yu recommended Wang Mu to mine with the blacksmith uncle in the village to exercise his body.
As the only blacksmith shop in the village, it mainly produces farm tools.
For example, my fishing rods and fishing lines are all produced by the blacksmith shop.
There are also some hunting bows and feather arrows. Some swords, halberds, axes and axes are also produced. These are mainly produced to deal with wild beasts and vicious beasts that break into the village.
"My blacksmith shop is different from those in other villages."
"I will also produce some mineral embryos here. When any disciples of the Immortal Sect come to the village, they will trade with me."
The blacksmith uncle was quite proud when he said it, "Although there are many immortal masters who are good at refining weapons in the Immortal Sect, those immortal masters will not go down the mountain to mine. At most, they will send some disciples with low cultivation level."
"And mining is a hard, tiring job, and the most exhausting one."
"Especially some rare raw minerals, which are immune to magic and magical powers, can only be dug with a pickaxe. For immortal masters, it is a thing that delays their cultivation."
The blacksmith uncle patted Wang Mu on the shoulder, "You're a good guy at cutting and fishing. If you're mining, you have to persevere."
"I will." Wang Mu nodded.
The blacksmith uncle is called Tie Hu, and he and Tie Niu are two brothers.
One focuses on felling, the other on mining.
"Underground to the south of our village, there is a cave mine. It was a mine that was discovered thousands of years ago."
While Uncle Tiehu was introducing Wang Mu, he had some memories as he spoke, "It is said that the ancient sage Dongfang Mu Daxia used to mine and exercise here. Later, the world changed greatly, and the underground changed. The mine pit There have been many changes. Our Anle Village has continued from generation to generation. Although the manpower is meager, it has continued the will of Dongfang Mu. As our Tie family continues from generation to generation, there will always be a miner like me who will keep digging year after year."
"..." Wang Mu.
"For thousands of years, whether it is ordinary iron ore or rare black iron ore, amethyst ore has been dug out."
"There are also rarer spiritual crystal mines."
"Even the rare thousand-year-old red jade has been unearthed."
"Speaking of which, when the thousand-year-old red jade was dug out, the immortals of Guyun Mountain were alarmed. They came to the village in person and traded with my ancestors at a high price."
"Later, this was used as raw material and was forged into the Immortal Family's divine weapon, and it became one of the sect-suppressing divine swords of the Xiaojian Sect on Guyun Mountain, the Red Jade Sword."
Uncle Tiehu became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, spat, and threw the hammer of unknown weight aside casually, "Let's go, there aren't many farm tools to hit today, I'll take you to dig! "
Wang Mu watched Uncle Tiehu hammering iron all morning in the blacksmith shop.
I've been bragging all morning, but I didn't speak out of breath and didn't even sweat a drop on my body.
Amazing physique.
"Take this gold and stone pickaxe. You use it for mining."
On the way, Uncle Tiehu handed Wang Mu a golden pickaxe, "Mining is not only a physical job, but also a technical job."
"I would like to hear the details." Wang Mu listened carefully.
"It would be fine if it were an ordinary mortal mine."
"But once you encounter a spiritual mine, the spiritual mine has properties. Generally, only the disciples of the Immortal Family can dig this type of mine. Ordinary people cannot pry it."
"However, there is a way in our village. That is to follow the principle of mutual generation and restraint in the world."
"..." Wang Mu.
Is there such a thing as mining in the Xianxia world?
"For example, Zejing Jade is a kind of jade that contains the property of water. It is crystal clear and flawless blue. You have to use a wooden pickaxe, such as a pickaxe made from the purple tree, to dig it out."
Wang Mu was thoughtful.
"As for ordinary ores, we can just use this kind of gold stone pickaxe. Rare spiritual ores generally cannot be encountered."
"How many attribute pickaxes are there? I will give them to you when you have reached a certain level in mining. These pickaxes are more expensive and should not be used to dig ordinary ores."
Wang Mu held the pickaxe and it felt heavier than an axe.
He felt it.
[Action Points: 2]
[Training: felling (15), fishing (13), mining (+)]
You can now practice mining!
Mining is good, dig more and save.
If you can become an immortal in the future, you will also learn how to refine weapons. You will not do anything else, just refine magic weapons and equipment. Whenever you reach a realm, you can directly refine a set of divine equipment, magic weapons, and magic weapons!
Thinking of this, Wang Mu was quite looking forward to it.
After following Uncle Tiehu for about half an hour, we approached the foot of an isolated peak. The terrain began to gradually decrease. After walking a few dozen steps, we saw an open-pit mine, as if it had been hit by a meteorite. A huge pit appears.
There are also some small potholes inside the pits. They seem to be many and they are several years old. I don’t know if they are the hard work of several generations of people in Anle Village.
"This kind of mine is a place of treasure. If it were placed in a normal world, it would not be occupied by a small village."
Wang Mu secretly shook his head, "I can't bear the fact that Anle Village is isolated from the world and protected by the Immortal Sect."
Looking at the mine, Wang Mu couldn't help but feel a surge of pride in his heart.
There is an urge to dig through.
"You can just dig outside now."
"The potholes inside are relatively narrow. If you encounter some ferocious beasts jumping out from the ground, you won't be able to escape."
Uncle Tiehu instructed, "The large holes outside are mostly made of iron crystal ore and ancient copper ore. With your current physique, you should have no problem digging this. If you see black iron ore or the like, it will be very difficult." "
Later, Uncle Tiehu explained the mining techniques to Wang Mu, briefly identified some mineral types, and then let Wang Mu try it.
This thing is different from fishing.
Fishing depends on talent and will.
Mining purely depends on persistence.
At first, Wang Mu thought this would not be too different from cutting down trees.
But it wasn't until he picked up the pickaxe and swung it at a piece of pale white iron crystal ore the size of a fist that he knew he was wrong.
There is no problem with the pickaxe, and there is no problem with the people.
But the force of the counterattack was too strong.
Accompanied by a sonorous sound, Wang Mu's arms tingled slightly.
After swinging a pickaxe for more than a dozen times, my hand becomes extremely numb.
I could only barely use three or four of the various techniques taught by Uncle Tiehu.
"This is just a piece of iron the size of a fist..."
Wang Mu felt numb.
The stronger you are, the stronger the counterattack will be.
After a few shocks, my body felt slightly uncomfortable.
"Experience it first."
Wang Mu remained calm and spent a full hour before reluctantly digging out the fist-sized piece of iron crystal ore.
